Dana's Bio:

Raised by a wild pack of Jews, otherwise known as her mother and siblings, Dana Goldberg is a force of nature on stage. Recently starring in her comedy special "One Night Stand Up; Episode 4" on the LOGO Network, Dana is taking the national scene by storm. In addition to her hilarious comedy and side-spliting performances Goldberg has also shared the national stage with President Barack Obama, Jane Lynch and the cast of GLEE, Lady Gaga, Kathy Griffin, Portia De Rossi and the hysterical Kathy Najimy. From Last Comic Standing at the Tempe Improv to the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland, Goldberg is spreading her quick wit and playful stage presence across the world. CURVE Magazine raves, “She’s smart, cute, and seriously funny.” Girl4Girl in Seattle calls Dana our “triple threat.” 


Goldberg has performed at numerous festivals including “We’re Funny That Way Comedy Festival” in Toronto, Canada, “The Lesbian and Gay Comedy Festival” in Dearborn, Michigan, “The Comedy Festival” in Las Vegas, Nevada (produced by HBO and sponsored by TBS), and “The Fringe Festival” in Edinburgh, Scotland. Goldberg also performs for mainstream crowds across the country in comedy clubs such as The Tempe Improv, Caroline’s on Broadway, Bonkerz Comedy Club, The Comedy Cellar in NYC, and Catch a Rising Star.  In addition to the comedy clubs and festivals, Dana is also sharing the stage with powerhouse performers like David Brenner, Judy Gold, Suzanne Whang and Kate Clinton.

Goldberg continues to combine her gift of humor with humanitarian efforts helping to raise over $200,000 during performances and live actions for the Human Rights Campaign in Seattle, San Francisco, Washing DC, Cincinnati, Austin, and Palm Springs. As the host and producer of the Southwest FunnyFest in Albuquerque, NM, Goldberg is enjoying a successful run producing one of the best comedy events to ever hit the Southwest, which has raised over $10,000 for New Mexico AIDS Services. She works with several national organizations including the Ms. Foundation in NYC, We’re Funny That Way Foundation in Toronto, Canada, Bas Bleu in Phoenix, AZ, and HRC organizations across the country.

Voted one of the top five "Funniest Lesbians in the Country" by CURVE Magazine readers, and recently releasing her debut DVD "Hot & Bothered-Dana Goldberg Live", Goldberg is a crowd favorite wherever she steps onto a stage. From Olivia Cruises and Resorts and Dinah Shore Weekend in Palm Springs, to WomenFest in Key West, fans are lining up across the country to catch her routine. As the youngest child in a single parent household run by a Jewish mother in which two out of three kids are gay, Dana helps keep most of the comedy venues and half of the psychotherapists in the country in business.
